The above example shows a correct answer. What happens if someone answers incorrectly? The class of the person who answered incorrectly will lose 50 points in their class evaluation score. Meanwhile, the class of the VIP" will gain 50 points, and the person VIP" will also be rewarded with 500,000 Private Points. (Incorrect answer: Class -50 points, "VIP +500,000 points, "VIP's class +50 points)

This is somewhat similar to the "guess the leader" game on the Uninhabited Island, except this time the leader is called the VIP." And the reason for this title is evident in the results: aside from having their identity guessed, they received points in all other scenarios. So, they were truly being treated preferentially.

However, the status of this VIP is arranged by the school, not chosen by the students themselves. The school will select the recipients, and the students will not be notified until 8 a. m. tomorrow.

Therefore, I believe that Majima-sensei's claim of setting aside past grievances with other classes and treating them as partners is just a facade. As long as there are substantial benefits to be gained from betrayal, cooperation is impossible.

But there are still a lot of trivial matters.

Majima-sensei continued, "For example, prohibited items include not being allowed to use theft, threats, or even intimidation to confirm the status of VIP."

Using someone else's phone to answer incorrect questions is also prohibited. Individuals are also not allowed to delete or falsify information sent by the school, etc.

Hachiman remained silent.

In other words...

You have to honestly and openly seek out those in VIP. Then you must answer the questions yourself using your own mobile phone.

But.

Who would believe such a thing?

Hachiman had no doubt that someone like Ryuen from Class D would wait for the VIP information to be sent, then immediately gather all the students in his class together, force everyone to hand over their phones, and then confirm their VIP status.

After all.

Even classmates can't be trusted, but if you can firmly maintain your VIP status, you can get a high score of 500,000 points. Or, if you lie and make someone guess wrong, you can not only get 500,000 points but also have the other class lose points. Ryuen will definitely plan this carefully.

And what is 500,000?

This is equivalent to Class D... Class D got zero points, but it's still enough for one person to live on for more than ten months, which is equivalent to five months' living expenses for Class C, and five months' living expenses for Class A.

Besides living expenses, there are also changes in class evaluation scores that occur after the quiz competition.

This is also a test for the three classes, A, B, and C, who are now in a state of tension.

Not answering first tests morale, while answering first tests class competitiveness. Only by answering first can the class evaluation score change.

"Wait a minute, Majima-sensei, I have a few questions I'd like to ask."

Hachiman pondered for a moment before asking, "First of all, according to the rules, whether you answer within the allotted time or answer first, any answer directed at another group will be invalidated, is that correct?"

"That's right."

Tomoya Majima nodded.

"So, if you answer within the allotted time, it's result one or result two. If someone answers beforehand, it's result three or four. And then, regardless of whether it's correct or not, the group's exam will end immediately, right?"

"Right."

Will the names of the test takers be published in the exam results?

Hachiman pressed on with more questions.

"Won't."

Tomoya Majima and shook his head, saying, "The school will only announce the results for each group, as well as the increase or decrease in class evaluation scores. As for the points earned by the respondents, the school can provide temporary IDs and installment withdrawal options."

"Understood."

Hachiman nodded knowingly, meaning it didn't matter who answered.

You don't have to worry about being discovered by others.

Because the school will not only not disclose the identity of the respondents, but will also provide protection by hiding the points.

This is to prevent others from identifying the respondent's identity based on their personal ID's points.

So, this is actually encouraging them to answer in advance.

Certainly.

While protecting the respondent.

It also protects those VIP.

Because the VIP can completely hide their identity and then receive 1 million points afterward.

It's really unsettling. It makes the students feel like they're about to lose control.

Thinking, or rather, testing people's hearts. And people's hearts are the most vulnerable to testing.

"Time is up."

Just as Hachiman was about to ask something, Tomoya Majima suddenly said, "Twenty minutes are up, you can leave now."

This leaves one speechless; this teacher is truly impartial.

However, the exam rules have already been obtained.

Then.

He was standing in the hallway when he was asked to leave room 204.

"Hachiman Hikigaya?"

Yukimura felt that there were aspects of this exam that needed to be discussed, both in terms of the information recording by the group members and the rules.

So I'd like to ask about Hachiman.

However, he noticed that Hachiman hadn't left but was standing by the window in the corridor.

It's as if he's gazing out the window with one hand, or as if he's waiting for something.

"I'll wait here for the next group of students," Hachiman said. "And Yukimura, have you memorized our group's member list?"

"I..." Yukimura said somewhat embarrassedly, "I couldn't remember them all because I don't know that many people."

Right?

"So I'll wait here for a bit," Hachiman said. "I'll hand the camera to the students in my class and let them take pictures."

"If you can't even remember the list, then probably no one else can either."

I see.

Yukimura accepted the answer, then scratched his head and left.

However.

Actually, there are people who can do it.

Like Kushida or Horikita. They had received the entire grade's roster from Hachiman, so they knew the names of students that Yukimura didn't recognize, and Kushida had even greeted people on the list.

However, both of them met at 8:40, which means they were in the same group.

However, the class was divided into 12 groups.

Therefore, we still need to collect 10 more lists.

However, the students in the class cannot be completely trusted, so it is necessary to confirm here who will be given the camera and who will take the photos.

In this way.

Students were rotated to a new group every 20 minutes, and it wasn't until 10:20 p. m. that Hachiman was finally able to rest.

"Sorry, Hachiman, our group is so late."

At 10:20, three students came out of the room.

Two men and one woman.

The girl had a sweet appearance, with smooth, shoulder-length brown hair and delicate features. Even her attire gave off the air of a wealthy heiress.

She also had a faint scent of jasmine perfume on her.

She is a person who knows how to dress and has a refined lifestyle.

Her name is Chiaki Matsushita.

She handed the pink camera to Hachiman.

Upon entering the room, she was asked by Hachiman to take her picture.

"It's alright," Hachiman said, then took the camera from the other person.

However, the student returned the camera to him but did not leave immediately. His gaze seemed somewhat intense.

Hachiman looked over.

There are very few capable people in the class, and even something as simple as asking someone to take a photo isn't something you can just ask anyone to do.

Can Matsushita utilize this talent?

In front of the cabin on the Uninhabited Island, Hachiman listened to Kushida talk about many things.

One of them belongs to Matsushita.

Kushida's assessment of Matsushita Chiaki was that Matsushita was somewhat pretentious.

This pretense can also be interpreted as a cover-up, meaning that Matsushita might be putting on a show of inaction most of the time.

"Have you understood the exam rules yet?" Hachiman asked. "I'm going to send the photos to Horikita later so she can summarize and simplify them, and then announce them to everyone tomorrow before the exam starts."

But Matsushita said, "I think the exam rules this time are a bit difficult. It would be best if you could explain them briefly."

Does that mean you can't keep up with the pace and can't even fully understand the exam questions?

"Although our class is only Class C right now, we are only about 200 points away from Class A. If we work harder, we might be able to make it up," Hachiman said tentatively.

"Yes, that's right." Matsushita's expression seemed a little strange at this moment, as if she was regretting it a bit.

However, this regret was quickly forgotten.

"I hope we can climb up this time. But I don't fully understand the rules yet," she said. Then she waved to Hachiman, "Well then, I'll head back now. Good luck, Hachiman."

Generally, if you don't understand a test question, you won't have to repeat it twice.

Obviously.

This Matsushita actually understood the question, but she was just giving up.

Chapter 149 Class A Teacher: This is outrageous! They can actually find bugs in my work! (Part 2)

While Hachiman and Matsushita were talking, a young man came out of room 204.

This is Majima-sensei from Class A.

He put the documents he was carrying in his bag and then walked out.

The direction we're heading is towards the basement level.

There was a bar there for adults, and on the ship, the teachers would go there to have a drink.

The teachers will be there for the next few days.

"The work is finally finished." When he arrived, the homeroom teachers of the other three classes were already there.

The teachers were responsible for explaining the rules of this VIP Exam.

As the rules indicated, for the next three days, with two discussion sessions each day, the students were highly autonomous, so the teachers had nothing to be responsible for.

In this way.

After finishing their work, they could see the three teachers drinking.

"Mmm, that feels so good." Chie Hoshinomiya teacher of Class B, ordered a large glass of beer and then chugged it down in less than 10 seconds.

But he seemed to be in a very good mood.

"Hoshinomiya, don't you think this behavior is very unladylike?"

Class D' s homeroom teacher Sakagami, gently pushed up his glasses and said.

There was a beer on his table, but his movements were much more elegant.

"Well, since Sakagami- kun is the only boy around, there's nothing to worry about," Chie Hoshinomiya said, putting down her cup and looking a little dazed. "Because you're not within my circle of interest. So there's no need for me to put on a show in front of you."

Day.

"..." Sakagami.

So during the Uninhabited Island Exam, she felt that Chabashira was pretentious and didn't want to talk to Chabashira anymore. Now, Sakagami feels that they shouldn't talk to Hoshinomiya either.
